The Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Council in Ogun State is set to work alongside state government agencies and stakeholders to tackle flooding and other infrastructure issues in the Sango-Ota–Joju corridor. During an inspection of the flood-prone route along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, council Chairman Lawal Wasiu highlighted the persistent problem of flooding during heavy rain, which disrupts traffic and endangers nearby communities.
The inspection team comprised representatives from the Ogun State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, the Ministry of Environment, and local authorities. They emphasized the need for coordinated efforts in engineering and environmental solutions. Concerns were raised that runoff from surrounding areas, such as Sango-Ota and Ijoko-Ota, significantly contributes to the flooding.
The team examined drainage channels and erosion points, seeking ways to enhance water flow and safeguard the road. Craneburg Construction, the company managing the current road project, also shared technical insights on vulnerable sections during the inspection.
